Eight-year-old Jiang Hao is fair and chubby, and is tall among children of his age. At this time, his mother held him in her arms like a child.
Concubine Fan Gui hugged her so tightly that Jiang Hao found it difficult to breathe and struggled hard.
Concubine Fan Gui did not let go, but hugged her tighter. Like a miser holding the treasure in his hand.
Jiang Hao has never been a good-tempered child. He immediately started crying and pushed his mother hard. Concubine Fan Gui was caught off guard and was pushed back, almost falling backward. At the critical moment, someone helped her: "Toffee, please stand firm."
It was the same hands as yesterday.
It was Song Yuan, the commander of Jiang Shaohua's bodyguard.
Concubine Fan Gui's heart suddenly jumped twice, and she hurriedly raised her eyes to look at Song Yuan. Song Yuan had already retracted his hand and stepped aside. That resolute and masculine man's face was burned into his heart like a branding iron.
Concubine Fan Gui quickly stopped her terrible thoughts and quickly turned to look at her son, using this move to calm herself down.
Jiang Shaohua scolded Prince Ping with a serious face: "The concubine is your biological mother, why did you push the concubine?"
One thing is worth another. Prince Ping, who was fearless and dared to make trouble at any time, was as obedient as a sheep in front of Jiang Shaohua, and even took the initiative to admit his mistakes: "I was wrong."
Jiang Shaohua said coldly: "Stop messing around. Now go and kneel in front of the coffin."
Jiang Hao said oh and knelt down honestly.
The ministers looked at this scene and their eyes were opened. For more than half a month, Prince Ping cried and fussed every day while kneeling, and no one could do anything to him. Who would have thought that Jiang Shaohua could control Prince Ping with just one word and one look...
So Princess Nanyang is the most suitable candidate to assist the emperor!
As a woman, she is destined to be unable to seize the throne. Assisting the regent to seize power, everyone can tolerate it. From the attitudes of Empress Dowager Zheng and Concubine Fan Gui, it can be seen that this is the best outcome they want to see.
After all, the advantages of letting Jiang Shaohua regent far outweigh the disadvantages. With the precedent of King Dongping of Gaoliang, Empress Dowager Zheng would never allow clans like King Huaiyang or Prince Wu'an to interfere with the imperial power.
Jiang Hao is eight years old this year. He will get married in seven or eight years. In the future, as long as healthy children are born and raised for about ten years, they will be of great use.
Calculating this, there will be about twenty years in the middle, and Jiang Shaohua will assist the emperor in governing.
The quick-thinking ministers have already begun to think about how to show their goodwill and surrender to Princess Nanyang.
As for Dong Shilang and others, they felt a sense of superiority in their hearts. They have close contact with Nanyang Prince's Palace and can be regarded as the princess's people. From now on, it will be the turn of the "Princess Party" to take the lead in the Liang Dynasty!
Everyone was kneeling, but their eyes were looking at Jiang Shaohua intentionally or unintentionally.
Even Chen Changshi was looking at his princess and wondering about her thoughts.
With everyone watching, Jiang Shaohua knelt silently in front of the coffin. Everyone could only see her kneeling straight back.
......
The Royal Forest Guards worked for a whole day before cleaning up all the corpses. They washed them twice with cold water and barely washed away the blood. The blood stains in the gaps between the jade stones could not be washed away, so they could only be left to be cleaned up later.
Everyone in the Punishment Department had been busy all day, and the list of traitors recorded was dozens of pages long.
Behind these dozens of pages of lists, there will be rivers of blood and heads.
The traitor died, and his family had to be killed. This is the rule of all dynasties, and Jiang Shaohua has no intention of making an exception. Those who deserve to be killed must be killed cleanly.
Go out to search for Zheng Chen's guards, reporting back and forth in disgrace. Zheng Chen fled to nowhere and is missing. Empress Dowager Zheng was extremely angry: "Let people block the city gate and continue the search."
With Zheng Chen's ability, he has escaped from the palace, and it is indeed not easy to catch him. It's been a day and a night, and I'm afraid it's too late to block the city gate.
A coldness flashed in Jiang Shaohua's eyes, but he said nothing.
It was dark again, and the palace lanterns in the Showa Palace were lit again. The ministers ate steamed buns again.
Cui Du went to get some steamed buns, stuffed one into Jiang Shaohua, and said in a low voice: "Eat some to fill your stomach."
Jiang Shaohua hummed. She has a huge appetite, but she has had little appetite in the past two days. The steamed buns feel like chewing wax in her mouth. I only ate one and couldn't eat any more.
Cui Du was a little worried and lowered his voice: "Eat another one! Only when you are full can you have strength."
In the eyes of everyone, Jiang Shaohua is omnipotent and has endless physical energy. In fact, she was also made of flesh and blood. She fought all day yesterday, and then she didn't close her eyes all day and night, kneeling down while trying to stabilize the situation. It consumes the most energy.
Cui Du's eyes almost never left her. He knew how tired she was and wished he could replace it with his own body.
Jiang Shaohua was persuaded by Cui Du and took another steamed bun and took two bites slowly. My stomach was churning inexplicably, making me feel sick and feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Cui Du noticed something strange and felt nervous: "Are you feeling a little unwell? I'll ask the imperial doctor to come over."
Jiang Shaohua took a deep breath and whispered: "No, I'll drink some hot water."
Cui Du had to pour the hot water first and carefully fed Jiang Shaohua to drink.
The courtiers who were closer saw this scene in front of their eyes and thought that no wonder Uncle Chang Ning was favored by the princess. This attentiveness and considerateness, without the masculinity of a man, is a perfect match for the princess.
Jiang Shaohua drank half a cup of hot water and finally suppressed the discomfort in his stomach.
At this moment, a guard hurried into the Showa Palace and reported loudly: "Wangsheren has led the troops of the British Guard Battalion into the city."
When all the ministers heard the words, they were all refreshed.
Although the rebellion in the palace has been put down, it feels different when a large army comes to take control. This is the real settling of things.
Empress Dowager Zheng only then knew that Wang Jin had gone to move reinforcements. She had always hated Wang Jin, but she couldn't help but praise Wang Jin at this time: "Wang Sheren is loyal and capable."
Jiang Shaohua said softly: "Wang Sheren went to the Yingwei camp to move reinforcements , my bodyguard went to the Royal Guards Camp, it should be There will be news soon. The two armies are entering Beijing together, which can not only protect the palace, but also contain each other."
Empress Dowager Zheng held Jiang Shaohua's hand and sighed: "You are still thinking carefully. .”
Concubine Fan Gui also echoed: "The princess is thoughtful and considerate. She is indeed a hero among women. She does not give in to men."
This tone has begun to resemble the queen mother's demeanor.
Jiang Shaohua was stunned.
After an hour, someone came to report as expected, and the Royal Forest Army also entered the capital.
Both armies are here, and even though there are still rebels escaping inside and outside the palace, the overall situation is stable. All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and some even cried.
At midnight, Wang Jin, whose eyes were red after staying up for two days and one night, stepped into the Zhaohe Hall. (End of this chapter)
